Effect of vertical placement angle on the insertion torque of mini-implants in human alveolar bone

Objective: The aim of the present ex-vivo study was to evaluate the effect of the vertical placement angle of miniimplants on primary stability by analyzing maximum insertion torque (MIT). Methods: Mini-implants were placed in 30 human cadavers, inserted at either a 90° or 60° angle to the buccal...
